  1. There are plenty of people in the all countries that don't want to get involved. There is a show in the US about it called "What would you do?" Some people help and some don't. Not helping is not exclusive to Japan. I am an American living in Japan and I see people helping people in distress.

  2. Old people are set in their ways and you are not going to teach these old dogs new tricks so just let them be..

  3. So dropping an Atomic bomb is "friendly and kind"?
    33
  4. And housing homeless people.
    23
  5. A lot of the elderly in Japan volunteer cleaning their neighborhoods and volunteer as crossing guards near school because it gets them out and about and occupies a few hours of their day.
    22
  6. The bad thing is when the rich people flaunt wearing their high end brands and laugh at you for wearing hand me downs.

  14. Too many races and cultures all wanting to do things their own way.
    4
  15. These businesses need local repeat customers. Tourists only stop once or not at all. Most tourists have a been there done that, so many places to explore, no need going back to the same place and if they do come back to a particular store it will be a year or 3 years gap. They can't depend on tourists traffic.

  32. So your rational is let every young person get the virus and it's alright.
    2
  33. Great job, Greg. This was the most comprehensive report on the pandemic in Japan. Don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch but definitely proved the naysayers wrong especially a lot of the Western J vloggers living in Japan. I have always like Governor Koike ever since the fish market fiasco and not giving into the pressure to move before additional studies about Toyosu. Can’t wait for your follow up videos.

    1
  58. It’s a combination of things, handshakes and hugs aren’t the norm, people don’t wear shoes in the house and even different slippers for the bathroom, hygiene is very good in Japan. People are obedient and responsible and are taught to think about how your actions effect others. And Japanese have been wearing masks for decades.
    1
  59. They don't wear them all the time. They wear them so as not to spread their germs when they have a cold. They stop wearing them when the virus is gone maybe a week. You wouldn't want to spread your cold to the kids.
    1
  60. Has this happened to you?
    1
  61. Foreigners aren't confused by the recycling methods, they just don't want to put the time and effort into doing it.

    1
  63. I see UR commercials all the time on TV featuring one of my favorite actresses, Riho Yoshioka.

  68. Typical for Japanese schools but at International schools, they do because the western parents don't want their kids to serve food and clean, they find it demeaning and feel it's slave labor, when you can pay someone to do it.

  69. They probably have a cold and don't want to spread their germs to other people or could be allergies.

  73. Greg could have gotten more into it but in Japan, if the light is red and there are no cars to be seen anywhere, most Japanese will wait till it turns green. Even if 1 or 2 people walk, most will wait for the light to turn.

  82.  @benfsinger  They mix the soy sauce with the egg and then put it on the rice but in the end it ends up in the same place (your stomach) so it doesn't matter.
    1
  83.  @tkondaks  That's only about 30%, you will need another 40 at the least for herd, meaning a lot more people need to be infected and die before that number.

  84. There are no trash bins and yet Japan is very clean.

    1
  89. It comes down to employment. If people could have the same job and pay as they do in Tokyo and live in Ehime, most people would do it. That's why a lot of people commute to Tokyo for 1 or 2 hours from Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa. People leave the countryside because there aren't any jobs there.

  94. I’m from Tokyo and I feel Governor Koike is the best

  96. Chidorigafuchi is near the Yasukuni Shrine and Imperial Palace in Tokyo.
    1
  97. There are benefits for helping Greg.
    1
  98. They know it's more than feeding the kids stomach. Everything is a teachable moment.
    1
  99. Schools have summer break, it’s shorter than average American summer breaks but Japan has longer winter and spring breaks.

  114. Yeah, we have them too.
    1
  115.  @wd2279  A few years back, a man working in a nursing home killed 18 elderly at the home in Kanagawa.
    1
  116. Americans are lazy. It takes time and effort to think up healthy and different meals. Farmers just want their money, they care about educating children, (that's the schools job). It's cheaper and easier to order pounds of frozen hamburger patties and premade frozen pizzas to cook and serve. The government will always choose the cheapest and the least amount of effort to accomplish a program.
    1
  117. I guess, our tax dollars are served better someplace else. LOL
    1

    1
  124. Never happen In the West, too many different races, cultures and nationalities. Things are better in Japan because Japanese make up 96% of the population.

  125. Monique is Hafu and lived in the same city and those things didn't happen to her.
